Question WIW 73 Grand am hood

I have a 73 GA hood in perfect condition and someone wanting to buy it, I was thinking it should be worth a couple hundred in it condition or am I way out of line? No rust or dents at all ready to repaint and install

It could be worth a few hundred if it was a NACA scooped hood. A regular flat hood probably will not be worth too much.

$200-250 should be fair due to condition. Over the years I've sold for a little less money the next style hood in perfect condition to CanAm guys to cut holes in to replace their damaged CanAm hoods. Today, I wouldn't even pull a similar perfect hood out a box for under $200.

It has the two inset scoops, looks like a 73 GTO hood except for the vents in the hood and not the cowl

OK, the '73 GTO hood is the NACA scooped hood, which was available on every LeMans model except Luxury/Grand LeMans. If it has the vents at the base of the windshield, it is an original 1975 hood, or a service replacement. The 1973-74 factory hoods had the vent openings at the base of the windshield opening. These normally sell for $400-$700.

Default NACA hood

FWIW i think they're getting more valuable, i paid $650 for mine in very good condition -- saw someone on PY a few months ago listed one for $950 which is nuts/greedy, $500-$700 is about the range i've seen as well....

A friend sold one in show-car condition (perfect condition top and underneath with perfect inserts) for $1200. That's the highest price I've seen. Price depends highly on condition.

Yes, Horst. I really need to proof read my posts before I submit them.

I agree with Norm. The black GT stripes would look great on that car.

Default 73 hood?

Actually that picture is a 73 hood, unless is could be a very earlier production model of the 74. It looks like it has the vents at the bottom of the hood.
